Stands

Famous quotes containing the word stands:

“You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels.

—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“It is complete within seconds, that monument.
The blood runs underground yet brings forth a tower.
A multitude should gather for such an edifice.
For a miracle one stands in line and throws confetti.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“There stands the castle, by yon tuft of trees.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
